Simply put, since your dissertation will draw on previous\nresearch, you need the literature review to show how your work fits in with and\ncontributes to existing knowledge in the subject area. It is therefore an\nintegral part of any dissertation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good literature review shows that you\nunderstand the subject matter. You can do this by critically assessing past\nresearch. This is vital so that your reader is clear about the purpose of your\nresearch and the theoretical basis upon which you are building your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The literature review also helps you to\njustify your research, since relating it back to past studies will provide\nimportant context. To do this effectively, you need to convince the reader of\nthe contribution your work will make to the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How\ndo I create a literature review?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The length and depth of your literature\nreview depends on the length of your project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are writing a 10-page\nargument paper, you may have room to include 5-6 sources to review, because you\nwill also be establishing your argument as well, but there\u2019s no hard equation\nfor how many or how much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your judgment and most importantly, consult your instructor about expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"420\" src=\"http:\/\/thesis4u2000.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Picture7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rctconsul789.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Picture7.png 750w, https:\/\/rctconsul789.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Picture7-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The structure of a literature review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A literature review\nshould be structured like any other essay: it should have an introduction, a middle\nor main body, and a conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The introduction should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>define your topic and provide an appropriate context for\nreviewing the literature;<\/li><li>establish your reasons \u2013 i.e. point of view \u2013 for<\/li><li>reviewing the literature;<\/li><li>explain the organization \u2013 i.e. sequence \u2013 of the review;<\/li><li>state the scope of the review \u2013 i.e. what is included and\nwhat isn\u2019t included. For example, if you were reviewing the literature on\nobesity in children you might say something like: There are a large number of\nstudies of obesity trends in the general population. However, since the focus\nof this research is on obesity in children, these will not be reviewed in\ndetail and will only be referred to as appropriate.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The middle or main body should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>organize the literature according to common themes;<\/li><li>provide insight into the relation between your chosen\ntopic and the wider subject area e.g. between obesity in children and obesity\nin general;<\/li><li>move from a general, wider view of the literature being\nreviewed to the specific focus of your research.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The conclusion should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>summarize the important aspects of the existing body of\nliterature;<\/li><li>evaluate the current state of the literature reviewed;<\/li><li>identify significant flaws or gaps in existing knowledge;<\/li><li>outline areas for future study;<\/li><li>link your research to existing knowledge.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Thoughts on How to\nWrite a Literature Review<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve just learned how to write a literature review. It doesn\u2019t\nget any easier than that. Look at each step and see how you can make the best\nout of it. Is this the only way to write a literature review? No. Others may\ntalk of only 4 steps while others may say there are as many as 15 or 20 steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is best to understand what sort of content goes into a\nwell-written literature. Do not obsess about the steps discussed. That said,\nthe steps described above guide you as you build your paper, making sure you never\nmiss an essential element. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the main takeaway. Unlike a research paper, a literature\nreview is not interested in adding new ideas to existing research. Instead, it\nsummarizes, synthesizes, and organizes existing knowledge, leading to a broader\nunderstanding of a particular subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may decide to follow this guideline or get from\nprofessionals who will guide you throughout the whole process of your writing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Credits : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rlf.org.uk\/resources\/the-structure-of-a-literature-review\/\">https:\/\/www.rlf.org.uk\/resources\/the-structure-of-a-literature-review\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/literaturereviewwritingservice.com\/how-to-write-a-literature-review-medicine-11-simple-rules\/\n<\/div><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are writing a thesis or dissertation, you will most likely have to write a literature review.
